In cleaning the barn a double wagon or boat enters the stable here, Fig. 2, and passes entirely around and out again at the same point; it may also pass behind the inner row of cattle around the silo and out again at the same door. Fig. 11 is an inte- rior view showing a section of the outer row of stanchions in this barn Fig. 12 is an interior view of the same barn looking toward a nearly empty hay mow to the left of the silo and shows how a loaded wagon may drive en- tirely around the silo and out again. It is much more difficult to make as convenient a dis- tribution of the feed in the rectangular type of barn or to arrange as nicely for the cleaning of the 'barn. It is, how- ever, possible to make a close approximation of these con- veniences as will be seen from this diagram Fig. 13, which shows how it may be done in barns of two sizes, one pro- viding for feeding 96 cows, and the other for feeding 56. In these plans both the silage and the dry fodder may be dropped directly into the mangers between the two double rows of cows. The cleaning also may be done with team and wagon or boat but three driveways and six outside
